Takuden and Shikin Shinma exchanged a glance when they saw the strangely shaped Hongshi and heard Kashirō address it as the Great Elder.
Takuden: "Hey, clan leader, this bald, muscular black man is actually their elder? And what's with that turtle shell on his back? Is he playing the turtle?"
Shikin Shinma: "Judging by his skin color, he seems to be a ninja from Kumogakure, but look at the Forehead Protector on his wrist, he's a ninja from Konoha."
Because Hongshi was so robust, the Forehead Protector was tied to his right wrist and used as a bracelet.
Takuden shook his head. "Impossible. Although the skin color of the Kumogakure is relatively dark, it's still only in the brown range. Look at this guy, he's so black he's practically glowing! Impossible!"
The Fūjin carried Ranmaru over. "Lord Ranmaru, look, there's an old man and a middle-aged man here."
Raijin's eyes lit up. "Can I eat them?"
Ranmaru exclaimed in surprise, "No! From now on, you can only eat the food in your bowls!"
Upon hearing the voice, Takuden and Shikin Shinma felt a chill run down their spines. Turning around, they saw the Fūjin Raijin: "It's those two idiots!"
The Fūjin Raijin initially arrived with Mizuki. It was the two of them who tore apart several skilled members of the Purple Gold Clan. They not only possessed Superhuman Strength, but their defensive capabilities were also quite astonishing.
Takuden and Shikin Shinma entered a state of combat readiness, wary of the Wind God and Fūjin Raijin: "Our Chakra is almost depleted now, we have no choice but to fight!"
Fūjin: " Raijin! They look like they're going to attack us!"
Raijin: "I... I'm so scared! I want to eat them! Excuse me... can you lie down in the bowl yourselves? We only eat what's in the bowl."
Shikin Shinma, Takuden: "(°ー°)???"
Left with no other choice, Ranmaru threw two Super Military Rations Pill into their mouths.
"Ugh! I'm so full, I can't eat anymore!"
"So full!"
Ranmaru smiled slightly at Takuden and his companion, "Sorry, my two companions aren't good with words, but they're very easy to get along with."
"I don't believe you for a second!"
Despite saying that, the two of them stopped fighting. Then they realized that with powerful figures like Hongshi around, if they wanted to kill them, they would have nowhere to escape.
Kashirō kept a close eye on Kusanagi Sōretsu and Ujin, who were forcibly extracting Senjutsu Chakra. If they failed, he would immediately use Ice Release to seal them away to prevent the situation from worsening.
Because of the prolonged battle, Sōretsu had accumulated too much Natural Energy in his body, and his face had begun to show a slight Sage Transformation, with two horns protruding from his forehead, but that was all.
In the training of the Thirteen Nuclear Guardian Pillars, Senjutsu is one of the compulsory courses. Sōretsu Retsu is exceptionally talented and has completed Sage Mode once before, so the process of refining Senjutsu Chakra went very smoothly.
On the other hand, the Ujin was in greater danger. Strong bodies writhed, muscles bulged, and the bamboo armor on their bodies burst open, revealing their true forms.
Takuden and the other man remarked, "This big guy looks a bit like a yellow-haired dog."
Shikin Shinma: "I think he's just a yellow-haired dog to begin with..."
"Puff!"
Ujin hearing the conversation between the two, Youzhen trembled, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his Sage Transformation deepened by one step.
Kashirō shouted, "You two bastards, shut up!"
Ujin man possessed immense strength from birth. An error occurred when Orochimaru used him for human research, resulting in his Orochimaru. Due to the passage of time, the changes have penetrated deep into his flesh and blood, and even the Hongshi cannot undo them for the time being.
The Lord God: "Oh ho, there's something you can't do???"
After regaining his composure, Ujin attempted to refine Senjutsu Chakra again. Due to the mutation in his body, he found it difficult to balance the three energies. However, after experiencing this battle, he gained a better understanding of his own power. After working hard for half an hour, the condensation process gradually became smoother, and the Sage Transformation of his body gradually subsided.
Kashirō finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the Hongshi in the center of Purple Gold Mountain Square: "What strange thing is the Grand Elder studying now?"
He had already sensed that Hongshi had absorbed all the Natural Energy in the air into his hands in just a few seconds, but he was studying something.
The white sphere in Hongshi's hand, almost tangible, constantly changed shape under his control, while he muttered to himself, " Natural Energy plus energy plus spiritual energy... emm, like this, like this, oh, it can be like this, right, that's it."
Lord God: "(°ー°) So what do you really want?"
Kendon also moved closer to Hongshi, scribbling notes furiously. "Oh! So that's how it is! What a brilliant idea! Remember it, remember it!"
Ranmaru walked up to Kashirō and said, "Captain Kashirō, hello."
Kashirō nodded. "Can you tell what the Grand Elder is up to?"
Ranmaru's Red Eye vision could indeed see what was happening, but he was also very puzzled. "That white sphere is compressed Natural Energy, and now Hongshi-kun is injecting his Chakra into it, as if it's shaping."
"Shaping?"
Kashirō knew that all the Ninjutsu Taijutsu of the Nuclear Ninja Village were invented by Hongshi, and that the reason why the Thirteen Nuclear Guardian Pillars could use Nuclear Release Ninjutsu was because they had thermonuclear bomb life forms in their bodies, which gave them the nuclear-style chakra to use Nuclear Release -Nuclear Release Chakra.
We can now see the process of Hongshi creating Ninjutsu, but we still don't understand it, which is a bit frustrating.
Hongshi suddenly shouted, "It's done! It's finished!"
Kendon stuffed the notebook back into his crotch and clapped his hands in approval. "This technique can directly double our strength! Elder, you are truly a genius, what is the name of this technique?"
Kashirō then noticed what Hongshi was holding. "A mask? What's so special about this... Wait, the Chakra fluctuations on this mask... it's Senjutsu Chakra?"
Lord God: "(°ー°) I think I know what it is..."
In Hongshi's hand was a white mask, resembling a skull, with two black horns at the top, the black color extending from the horns all the way to the bottom of the mask.
Kashirō asked, "Elder, what is this?"
Hongshi held the mask and slowly put it on. "This is called Void Man... no, this is our Nuclear Ninja Village's unique Sage Mode."
Having said that, the mask was already on his face. Kashirō felt a powerful Senjutsu Chakra emanating from the mask merging with the Hongshi. The surrounding air seemed to be repelled, and dust rose up everywhere.
Hongshi seemed extremely excited. He took a few steps forward, his eyes turning black with yellow pupils. A massive dragon shadow, a blend of black and red, rose behind him. With a roar, the entire Purple Gold Mountain split in two. " Hongshi roared to the sky: ' Nuclear Ninja Style - Sage Mode! Roar! I am! The embodiment of power!'"
"What! What kind of power is this?!"
Kendon looked at the dragon shadow behind Hongshi: "Alright! Boss! Stop acting and tell me the method quickly, I want to try it!"
Takuden: "Just who are these people?!"
Shikin Shinma: "Hey, Takuden, they're so strong, why don't we join them?"
"Great idea!"
The mountain peak opposite Purple Gold Mountain
The figures of Mizuki and the others appeared from the tree; they hadn't left but were observing from there.
Seeing Hongshi's new technique, he swallowed hard. " Hongshi, this guy, is he really that strong? Mr. Zetsu, it seems we'll have to change our plans!"
A pitcher plant slowly rose from the ground; it was Zetsu, one of the Akatsuki members. " Mizuki, we told you long ago, Hongshi is very strong."
White Zetsu stared at Mizuki: "Hey, we provided you with so many experimental materials so you could conquer the Land of Rivers, and now you've failed right from the start. What did you do?"
Mizuki and the others knelt on the ground simultaneously. "Please rest assured, Lord Zetsu, my Beast Seal Transformation Potion has entered the final stage of research. That red-haired beastman from earlier is a successful example. I can increase his appearance rate to one in twenty. At that time, my Beast Seal Transformation Army will definitely be able to take over the Land of Rivers!"
Black Zetsu didn't want to linger and sank back underground. "Don't get any funny ideas, we'll be watching you."
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
